OK - so attempt at web page writing not too good. But, if you click on image and 'save as' when you print out you will get a good quality copy. I was worried if I saved at lower resolution that details would be lost when printed out.

Dear all I have scanned in a 24V FFR wiring diagram for a series 3. You should find it at: http://hometown.aol.co.uk/steamcoaster/index.html My first attempt at website construction using AOL is not that good, but at least its a start.

On the way to Chatham yesterday, red ignition light came on. Batteries not charging. Managed to get back and now rather glum at prospect of buying another 24V alternator. In another post I heaped much praise on the 24V FFR system for its reliability. Questions: 1) Does anyone repair the...

Crew accomodation on old ships has the underside of the deck painted with a thick rubberised paint. Mixed in the paint is asbestos. It certainly keeps the condensation away. As for the S3, just live with the moisture. There is a really good reason for the internal gutter around the roof. The...

110 TD5 easily. TD5 Land Rover have really got right. My wife can drive and reverse park hers perfectly - its just practice. Its the Series 3 she's not keen on.

You recon the Freelanders will make it ACCROSS the Mersey?

My wife drove our Freelander off a road an into a ditch. Got it stuck on the exhaust. Had to be pulled out by my dad's transit. Wife now drives 110 Defender TD5....

Dynamo's can be overhauled. If you don't want the dynamo can I have it? The dynamo commutators get covered in carbon as the brushes wear down. Some cleaning up of the commutator in a lathe + cleaning out the grooves between each part of the commutator and its as good as new. Fit new brushes...

Sorry about the echo - AOL crashed whilst sending it and I felt sure I needed to resend it. I'm nearly fed up with AOL.

The little switch with the light in is for the brakes. There is a relay shuttle valve which moves if you get a leak in the brake pipe system. The brake system is arranged with two lines. If there is a break in either line, the relay valve moves so preserving the healthy part of the system (front...

Evening all! 24FFR - fantastic electrical system. You can convert to 12V. However, I have grown to like the robustness of the 24V system. The screened electrics have the effect of making them water tight and reliable. The higher voltage means current is reduced and this increases the life...

Slob will probably tell me off for being too tekki and wordy - but checking this diaphram will save you loads of time, cash and worry.

I'd leave the dizzy. you could open a whole can of worms there and spend a lot of time finding the worms and putting them back. 1980 series 3. I think it could be a small hole in the diaphram of the emission control system. This bit of apparatus is not covered by the Haynes manual. The...

I'm going to plump for hardy spicer spider joints in rear probshaft.

We have had 2 new clutch master cylinders in the last 4 months on a vehicle with only 26000 miles on the clock (110 defender station wagon TD5). We had a bit of a battle with warranty from the dealership. Dealt with Land Rover Warranty direct - much better. They wouldn't let me keep failed...

We ended up with a 110 Defender Station wagon. Hey, if inward facing seats were OK for children, they could sit in the back of the series 3! View out is not so good.

What a star! At last I will be able to see. All I need now are some reflectors.

Anyone know where I can get 24V halogens for ex MOD landy?

Radiator cap rubber is worn and torn and leaks.....Need new one. Went to Halfords. Note next to range of caps said consult sapres desk. Chap knew nothing about caps. Now, some caps looked like the business. There is an issue to do with the pressure at which they lift. This is a safety device...
